Which cab style is described as cab over the engine?

• A. Non-conventional
• B. Conventional
• C. Forward control
• D. Mid-engine

Answer: (A)

This question tests cab placement relative to the engine. A cab that sits over the engine is the forward control, also known as cab-over-engine. In this design, the cab is positioned on top of the engine, which shortens the overall length of the vehicle and improves maneuverability and front visibility.

Conventional cabs have the engine in front of the cab with a long hood, so the cab sits behind the engine. Mid-engine configurations place the engine under or near the center of the vehicle, not in front of the cab. The term non-conventional isn’t a standard way to describe this cab arrangement.
